Hip Replacement · Dr. Hitesh Mangal
Reduce hip pain. Restore mobility. Return to everyday movement with confidence.
Severe hip pain can make walking, climbing stairs, getting up from a chair, putting on shoes or sleeping comfortably increasingly difficult.
At Durva Hospital, Kota, Dr. Hitesh Mangal provides detailed evaluation and personalised planning for advanced hip arthritis, AVN and significant hip-joint damage.
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The femoral head forms the ball, while the acetabulum in the pelvis forms the socket. Severe damage can make movement painful and restricted.
In a Total Hip Replacement (THR), damaged portions are replaced with suitable artificial components designed to create a smoother-moving joint.
Conditions That May Lead to Replacement
Having one of these conditions does not automatically mean surgery is necessary. Symptoms and functional impact guide the decision.
Common Pathways
Hip osteoarthritis may cause groin, hip or thigh pain, stiffness after sitting, reduced movement and difficulty walking or climbing stairs. Replacement is generally considered only when damage is advanced and appropriate conservative care no longer provides adequate relief.
AVN can weaken the femoral head and lead to collapse. Treatment depends on its stage; replacement may be considered in advanced cases with collapse and significant arthritis.
Do All Patients Need Replacement?
Dr. Hitesh Mangal first evaluates the underlying cause, severity, movement and impact on daily life. Early and moderate problems may often be managed conservatively.
Surgery is discussed when hip damage significantly affects function and appropriate non-surgical treatment no longer provides adequate relief.
When May Replacement Be Considered?
The decision is based on the complete clinical picture rather than an X-ray alone.
Hip Evaluation by Dr. Hitesh Mangal
Evaluation includes pain, hip movement, walking pattern, functional limitations, medical history and previous treatment.
Appropriate imaging—usually X-rays, with additional investigations when clinically required—helps assess the extent and cause of damage.
These findings determine whether conservative treatment should continue or replacement may be appropriate.
Total Hip Replacement
Personalised Surgical Planning
Planning considers joint damage, bone quality, hip anatomy, age, general health, mobility requirements and functional goals.
The objective is not simply to replace a damaged joint, but to help the patient regain comfortable movement, functional mobility and greater independence.
After Hip Replacement
Timelines vary according to age, general health, muscle strength and surgical complexity.
Revision Hip Replacement
A replaced hip may occasionally require revision because of implant wear, loosening, instability, infection, fracture around the implant or another complication.
Revision replacement can be more complex than first-time surgery and requires detailed assessment and planning.
Hip Replacement Care at Durva Hospital
Care is planned around the individual patient—from diagnosis and non-surgical options to replacement and rehabilitation when clinically appropriate.
